A novel algorithm to detect non-wear time from raw accelerometer data using deep convolutional neural networks

Abstract To date, non-wear detection algorithms commonly employ a 30, 60, or even 90 mins interval or window in which acceleration values need to be below a threshold value.A major drawback of such intervals is that they need to be long enough to prevent false positives (type I errors), while short enough to prevent false negatives (type II errors)

Extradigital glomus tumor as a cause of chronic perianal pain

Glomus tumor is a rare perivascular benign tumor arising from the Sucquet-Hoyer canal of the normal glomus body, most commonly in the digital areas.We report a serving soldier with such a tumor in an atypical site, the bible flask perianal region, presenting with episodic shooting pain.Total surgical excision was performed.Histopathology revealed a
